From what i've heard i think it just airs on boxing day as one show and then the voting lines are open till the new year when the results are annouced and apparently u cant vote 4 ppl from your own country

"Success for me was becoming a professional singer. And as that develops, it is singing my own material. In the studio they think I'm absolutely mad, I'm always saying 'this is wonderful, I can't believe this is my day job!'" - Will Young

"The whole experience has been great and I am taking it one step at a time with clear planning whilst supported by an excellent team of people. It was a huge step to take when I decided to put my law studies aside but I believe that I have made the right decision to follow this passion for music." - Heinz Winckler

"And now - the World Idol! I'm happy I'll meet people who won the show in other countries. It will be a totally new experience for me and for sure a great chance to present myself to the so-called 'wide world'." - Alex

"I'm not materialistic, but I am ambitious. I'd love to break globally and can't wait to go to England. There is so much ahead of me and so much I want to accomplish. It all seems to be happening so quickly that I have to force myself to stop and realize how truly 'Thankful' I am. " - Kelly Clarkson

"I don't really feel like a superstar. I am realistic and always try to keep my feet on the ground. One can only become a superstar one day through hard work and I still have a long, long road ahead of me." - Alexander Klaws

Kurt's debut album, I, was released in September, and – as the single before it – went straight in at # 1. The album consists of nine original songs and three cover versions, among them, She’s So High, and Duran Duran’s beautiful Ordinary World. The album went platinum on the day of release.

"I make up tunes in the shower, sitting in the car and always carry around a Dictaphone (it's built into his mobile phone) so if a tune comes into my head I can record it into the voicemail on my phone - that way I don't forget it." - Guy Sebastian

I'm still at the stage where Guy is p!$$!ng me off beyond belief. I'm over hearing his song on the radio every hour! And yes...I'm one of the ones that wanted to see Shannon win. However, if Daniel hadn't maintained his contract I would've been voting like mad! PS. Daniel (Wakefield) has a new CD out guys!
